You’re out of warranty of course you have to pay. You think they work for free? You could try someplace that does car audio. ---

Determine whether the problem is your phone, or the car’s electronics. One idea, try to connect your phone to another blue-tooth capable cell phone. ---

It was my phone, my husbands phone worked fine on it. Thank you for your suggestion George. ---

Its an 11 year old car. You expect it to operate forever without anything failing? ---

No need to keep replying to this comment. It was my phone that didn’t work, not the vehicle so I don’t need any more smart remarks. Of course I was hoping it was a glitch rather than the car that might have been the issue and that is what I was hoping someone had the same issue with. ---
